CORPORATE INFLUENCE OVER UNIVERSITY AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH Private-sector funding not only corrupts the public research mission of land-grant universities, but also distorts the science that is supposed to help farmers improve their practices and livelihoods. See charts: * Examples of Corporate Representatives on University Boards * Examples of Schools, Buildings and Departments Funded by Corporations * Examples of Academic Departments Funded by Private Sector * Snapshot of Selected Professors at Iowa State University University of Illinois Crop Sciences 2006–10 $18.7 million 44 percent Monsanto, Syngenta, Smith Bucklin & Associates http://documents.foodandwaterwatch.org/doc/PublicResearchPrivateGain.pdf

January 5, 2015 DuPont Pioneer unleashes new genetically modified soybean cooking oil It is called Plenish and it is a cooking oil that has been approved by the USDA as safe to eat. It is made solely of genetically modified (GM, GMO) soy beans and they say it may very well change the way the world sees GMOs. Problem is, it is a GMO product, it does not matter how healthy they say it is, it is still untested GMO food and from previous un official science experiments, GMO foods are very dangerous long term. We've all seen the lab rats that were fed Monsanto's GMO corn for 3 years straight! The problem is, and will remain, GMOs are harmful to the planet, it's environment and the people and animals that live here. http://www.examiner.com/article/dupont-p...ean-cooking-oil

Published on May 10, 2013 It was "supposed" to be harmless to humans and animals—the perfect weed killer. Now a groundbreaking article just published in the journal Entropy points to Monsanto's Roundup herbicide, and more specifically its active ingredient glyphosate, as devastating—possibly "the most important factor in the development of multiple chronic diseases and conditions that have become prevalent in Westernized societies." That's right. The herbicide sprayed on most of the world's genetically engineered crops—and which gets soaked into the food portion—is now linked to "autism ... gastrointestinal issues such as inflammatory bowel disease, chronic diarrhea, colitis and Crohn's disease, obesity, cardiovascular disease, depression, cancer, cachexia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and ALS, among others." Enjoy this videotaped guided tour of Jeffrey Smith interviewing co-author Stephanie Seneff, PhD, a Senior Research Scientist at MIT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_AHLDXF5aw

Food Additives Make Children Behave Badly Irritability, temper outbursts, oppositional defiance, restlessness and difficulty falling asleep are the main behavioral effects of additives. But parents rarely realize that food chemicals can be associated with many other effects including arguing with siblings, making silly noises, speech delay, anxiety, depression or difficulty concentrating. Additive-free children are generally calmer, happier and more cooperative. http://healthybody.buzz/food-additives-make-children-behave-badly/#sthash.6tZz23h6.i7x8ckWa.dpbsOur kids get better when they get off GMO's! Just some of over 300 Testimonials from Moms Across America about the health of their children and families in relation to GMOs and Glyphosate: See one of our Mom's video, Jennifer Lawerenson, survey responses and Facebook posts below. http://www.momsacrossamerica.com/zenhoneycutt/mom_s_testimonials
